How extraordinary. I have a photo of this same Kite surfer. Not posted on this site though. P.S. Visited your external site - nice photos (and plenty of 'em)!

Wow what a capture! I remember seeing this image, personally I would have thought it would have been top 20, but 28 isn't too bad either. The action and timing are prefect. I like the fact the subject is not centered is prefect for me, I really hate when people center. The waves look prefect not overwhelming and not boring. I really cannot see anything I would change or attempt to improve. I see a little blotchyness in the left upper side but it is hardly noticeable. You did an excellent job.

Great action shot. On my monitor the colors seem subdued, there's just not the sparkle I would have expected

Very nice picture. Great detail, love how he seems to be moving into the picture, hard to catch that in a pic.
